Any such costs will be applied in line with the following timescales: Any personal search cancelled up to one working day after the order is placed can be cancelled without charge; Any personal search cancelled on the expected return date, or one working day before, will attract a 100% charge; Any personal search cancellation request made between these times will attract a 50% charge; Any ancillary report cancellation request received where no work has been carried out can be cancelled without charge. Any direct costs incurred will be passed on and charged in full. Should you have any questions regarding the cancellation policy please contact the Customer Services Department on 0800 052 0117.

Elizabeth McNaughton

Our Data Research Manager oversees two teams within the company: the Data Team (who gather CON29 data) and the Highways Team (who supply Highway Authority data to Landmark Information Group).

Managing 19 highly-skilled staff, Elizabeth co-ordinates the daily capturing and triple quality check of data from all local authorities in England and Wales, and other external providers. She has specialist knowledge of Highways, Traffic Planning, Housing, and Local Environment data.

Our key objective is to provide our customers with practical solutions that enhance their business.

Our investment in technology, coupled with skilled staff and a creative development team, allows us to future-proof our operation by spotting market trends and staying ahead of them.

The OneSearch Methodology proves our data far exceeds the scope of traditional Local Authority or Personal Searches. You can have complete confidence when using our products and services, safe in the knowledge that our practices are rigorously tested and meet SRA guidelines.

With up to £10 million Professional Indemnity Insurance, you can depend on us to provide full and complete data that goes above and beyond a standard Local Authority search.

Data Quality is our key strength and distinguishes us from councils and other personal search suppliers. It is crucial in supporting your own risk management practices.

In a noisy, fluctuating industry, it makes sense to rely on a company who are long-established market leaders. We break away from our smaller, inexperienced competitors, with our team of over 100 people.
